Ideal generated by an ideal and an element

Let $R$ a commutative ring with unity. Let $anotin I$ and we consider the ideal $(I,a)$. I have already shown that $$(I,a)=big{i+ra;|;iin I, rin Rbig}.$$



Why, $(I,a)=(Icup(a))$?
I know that $(I,a)$ is the smallest ideal that contains $I$ and $a$, but how do you say that he coincides with $(Icup (a))$?



Thanks!

    Why $I color{red}{cup} (a)$? Example, $R = mathbb Z$, $a = 4, I = 6mathbb Z$, then $I cup (4) = 4mathbb Z cup 6 mathbb Z$, but $J=(I, a) = 2mathbb Z$: $4, 6 in Jimplies 6-4 = 2in J$, hence $(2)subseteq J$. Since $mathbb Z$ is a PID, $J = (2)$. Then $10 in J$, but $10 notin 4mathbb Z cup 6mathbb Z$.

The ideal $(Icup(a))$ is the smallest ideal containing $I$ and $(a)$; in particular it contains $I$ and $a$, so it contains $I+(a)=(I,a)$. Conversely, every ideal containing $a$ also contains $(a)$, so the smallest ideal containing $I$ and $a$ also contains $I$ and $(a)$. Therefore $(I,a)$ contains $(Icup(a))$.



Hence $I+(a)=(I,a)=(Icup(a))$.
